Ms. Newegg Webmaster,

I'm pulling the trigger on a 22" or 24" LCD today or tomorrow. Is there anything you could do for me on a great deal?
 
Newegg Webmaster,

The M3A is a decent board, but I have my eye on the Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 770 board. Any chance you could get a coupon for it as well?


Prices shipped:
  • $116.32 - Newegg
  • $102.08 - SecureMart
  • $105.65 - eWiz
  • $105.65 - MWave
Thanks!
 
I know. I'm trying to turn my BB gift cards into a Newegg gift certificate so I can order the rest of my parts from Newegg.

Is this a sign I need to upgrade to 4 gigs?

At this price YES!! It certainly isn't a stop sign! :cool:

Shoot, I paid over $165 for 2GB PC4000 memory almost 2 years ago when those prices were dirt cheap (for the time). PC3200 2GB kits were still hovering around the $125-135 range.

I paid 200 for this set of RAM just over a year ago. So I think I will.

Remember: I believe that buying a hardware component such as this entitles you to be able to purchase the cheaper OEM version of XP or Vista 64 bit, if you don't already have one/them so you can utilize all 4GB of RAM. ;)
 
Do any of you ever actually get a special price on things you specifically ask for? I know that if Newegg would work with me on some things, they'd be more likely to get my business because they are not the cheapest around anymore.
 
I have seen several requests answered by NewEgg Webmaster.... reasonable requests of course :rolleyes:

Sometimes I think that upcoming offers are influenced by popular request. Dunno if that's true or not, but appears that way sometimes.

I guess it never hurts to ask. Worst case is, you get a "no". Just try to keep the requests reasonable. I've seen some ridiculous requests posted to the NewEgg Webmaster. That just makes us all look like idiots.

I asked for free shipping once and was granted my wish. Just be reasonable and don't ask for a hot SKU.
 
She used to. For the last couple weeks she seems to be ignoring everything. Pretty sure PMs sent her way are intercepted by a trashcan.

Can't say I'd blame her. Can't say that I envy her position.

NewEgg doesn't HAVE to offer us anything, yet they choose to.
But almost every NewEgg thread gets inundated with "that's a crappy deal" or "I found it cheaper here" or "why this one instead of that one?". It's too bad really.

Ask and you shall receive, I suppose? ....now $110 shipped.

Wow. Nice! I PMed her about that a couple days ago. I can still get it cheaper elsewhere, but I'll still order it from Newegg since I'm ordering a few other things.

Maybe she does read our requests, waves her wand, and doesn't care about instant recognition. :D
 
Outstanding.. Bit on that GSkill. Hope it works better on my picky-arsed DFI board than the Corsair VS did. If not, well, I have 3 Gb PC3200 laying around...? ;)

Yeah, I'm gonna plug my set into A8N-SLI tonight. IF no issues, I may be in for another set or two tomorrow. :D

It's always been my stance that, even though it might be a few bucks more, it's worth the little extra cost of some things just because of NE's outstanding customer service.
 
Plus their shipping rates are drastically reduced when you order multiple items.

Right now I have three items with 4.99 shipping and a couple with free shipping, and yet the total shipping is just under $10.

It might be calculating by weight.... have you priced the shipping charges of just the items that don't have free shipping, like you were going to place a separate order? I've had to do that before, because I would get an even lower shipping price on the one order, and free shipping on the other order.
 
Well I'm sure it's by weight, but my point is that some items, like fans, have ridiculous shipping costs that you can offset by ordering more.

Shipping is the same, by the way, when I remove both free shipping items.

I think the reason their [H] deals catch so much flak is because they are insulting to our intelligence. Wow, 10 bucks off of an overpriced dinosaur AMD CPU, that's great. 2 gigs of DDR1 for the price of 4 gigs of DDR2? Splendiferous... especially with that wallopin' $5 discount.

I'm a long-time newegg shopper, but some of their "deals" are just silly. The point of a deal is to sell something that people wouldn't buy otherwise... $5 or $10 off of $90 and $150 outdated stuff is not an inventory-mover. I'm sure there are some people who think a K8 CPU or some DDR1 is still a good investment, and that's for them to decide, but objectively it's a fairly daft purchase.

Ah yeah... fans, cables, little adapters, usb thumb drives, etc etc do seem to have some retardedly high shipping costs. But I guess when you figure in the costs of packaging material, labor, and the price of fuel, it can add up quick.

Anywhoozle.... I'm going to stop steering way the hell off topic in a Hot Deals thread.

The deals have just gotten steadily worse over the years..I wonder if it's even worth the cost to Newegg to keep their HD threads stickied.
Sucks too cause I'm building a new fanless rig and I was really hoping to get at least the whole thing from Newegg but with a lack of deals here I'm going to have to split my order up
 
I'm a NewEgg fanboy myself, but I'm starting to see similarities to TigerDirect (which I will never purchase from again!).

Us "Enthusiasts" know how/where to find the utmost cheapest deal if we want it, but I'll shop the Egg first & foremost. The deals have really been blah lately I do have to say. I used to visit these posts, look at what she has offered to us & then try to hold back clicking the checkout button.

Ms. Newegg Webmaster, please let your superiors know that the big-spenders (like the members of [H] that upgrade their PCs constantly) are taking note of the lack of "great" deals for the masses & spending their money elsewhere. If that's okay with them, fine! Realize that the enthusiast crowd left TD because of their change in business strategy and their failure to realize that people know where to get things at a better price (which was always NewEgg). Not always anymore though.

I made this suggestion once before.. maybe get with your superiors & ask them for a list of items that "could" go on special & then let us choose. Get connected with your customers again :) .. we'd appreciate it!
 
yeah.. most of us are suckers for good deals, but can't stand nickel & dime discounts on 6-18mo old products ;)
 
GRIPE ELSEWHERE. Newegg is still the best of any computer etailer I know...


I'll pay an extra 10 bucks at the egg over some no name upstart site without flinching.


You can't expect every single deal the "dealmaster" offers to apply to you -- why would you even think in those terms? If you check this sticky for 3 months and find something one time that applies to you then you've done well and by all accounts New Eggs done EXACTLY what they set out to do.

Newegg is a great shop. I just paid $15 extra for something from them because I've done a lot of business with them in the past and value the trust they've developed with me as a customer. I've never once had a bad exp. with them and have ordered with them since the turn of the century.
 
Yes, but I'm sure if you could have saved $10 from NewEgg you would have loved it right?

There's no way I'm beating these guys up, their still the first stop every time.

As a matter of fact, I just dropped $300 there not more than 20 minutes ago :p

I couldn't resist the Samsung drives... get em while they're hot folks!!

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM - $140 w/Free Shipping!!!!!!

The review I found convinced me I needed it for my new build :D

Oh btw, they aren't the cheapest on this either :p

Newegg is cheaper than ZZF though atm.

Samsung 750gb Price History

The price on these has dropped a lot recently, can't wait to see them near the $100 mark in the future. I remember paying a crapload for my 60gb drives a few years ago lol
 
any highly oc'able 2x2gb sticks of mem at all? i see the ocz sli editions for a pretty good price, but i don't feel it's good enough yet to pull the trigger on. also deciding between the 3870 or 9600gt... the single slot cooled sapphire 3870 looked real nice last week, but price has gone up since then (didn't have paycheck yet ;P).
 
Still waiting for this monitor to come back, it's been deactivated for a while now, which makes no sense at all because the black version of the same monitor is still being sold.

Really want two more silver ones for a matching set of three, I would order two instantly if they showed back up.
